Star parties are held in our parks every summer, especially in Northern Ontario, where there’s less light pollution.

Take in the Perseid Meteor Shower, which produces 50-100 meteors an hour at its peak. Meet “spirited” characters from Ontario’s past on a ghost walk. Solve a park mystery and maybe even hear wolves howl.
